Unnamed Landscape
2006
Pastel, acrylic and collage
Overall framed size: 52cm x 60cm
Deliberately, this image has a shallow depth of field, there is no illusion of constructed perspective, and the forms are close to the picture plane.
Whilst nominally in a landscape format, when making this painting I was primarily concerned with the texture of the paint, and the abstract juxtaposition of the painted shapes and colours.
The lower half of the composition is intentionally akin to a ‘vertical terrain.’
The relatively more loosely worked sky acts as an aerial foil to the solidly painted forms indicating the land mass.
Just as music is essentially about sound, this piece is essentially about paint.
